Very grateful to the guests, Joe, and my ageing digital recorder for letting these talks live on from #TargetBookClub

This is a commendable thread summary of the wonderful #TargetBookClub event on Saturday.

Bought off the back of @stephengallagher.co.uk's excellent talk at #TargetBookClub - looking forward to getting stuck in!

Travelling back home after a stellar weekend based around #TargetBookClub - still processing what a fantastic day that was…!!

Really hard to pick a highlight, so let’s just go through them all & hope that I don’t get them in the wrong order or miss any out!

Similarly @jennycolgan.bsky.social would love to see any photos of her at #TargetBookClub

(Am steadily realising I should have taken some photos rather than going out to stop the Salsa class coming in....)

Nyssa and Tegan share a look, but JNT’s edict sets them… err… straight. “Hanky Panky in the TARDIS? This producer says NO!”

Slide of the day from @magslhalliday.bsky.social’s #TargetBookClub fascinating talk on romance in the Who novelisations - at this point discussing the long drought of shipping material under the JNT edict…

Did anyone take a photo of Stephen Wyatt reading at #TargetBookClub yesterday? He'd love to see one! 🙏

Great day yesterday at the #TargetBookClub organised by the tireless @gossjam.bsky.social. Bought lots of new books and chatted informally with several authors. I also got to meet the legendary #StephenGallagher, author of #WarriorsGate, and tell him how much the young me enjoyed his work.

“What’s happened to him, Doctor?”

“He went to the rather splendid #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub and appears to have passed out from the heat, Chesterfield. Look, here comes @gossjam.bsky.social through the woods to check if he’s okay and to give him a commemorative mug.”

Big thanks to James for an enjoyable event with an inspired format. Variety and entertainment in 15-minute bites #TargetBookClub

Thank you all who came and SWEATED through #TargetBookClub. You were a delight.

Thanks to standing around all day in The Sweltering, I now have.... Nappy rash 😐

#targetbookclub was glorius. A wonderful, thought provoking and hilarious day from @gossjam.bsky.social Well done sir, to you and your wonderful speakers.

Had a lot of fun at #TargetBookClub, meeting old and new friends. I'm not usually as shy and nervous as I come across.

Thank you @gossjam.bsky.social and all the other magnificent contributors to #TargetBookClub, I had a lovely time! It was brilliant to listen to the talks and readings and really lovely to catch up with friends.

A quite from The Ultimate Foe, p. 81: "Erect, betraying not a hint of fear, the Doctor was reminded of the fine prose that brought A Tale of Two Cities to a noble climax."

I had a wonderful time at #TargetBookClub 2025, giving a very serious talk about the educational work of Pip and Jane Baker. Many thanks to @gossjam.bsky.social and all the other speakers/authors for such a joyous day.

Heading home after #TargetBookClub! Lovely to meet up with old friends and meet new. Well done @gossjam.bsky.social!

Big thank you to @gossjam.bsky.social for putting together the most amazing & wonderful event today for #TargetBookClub - a brilliant day of talks & laughs, deep dives & new facts, readings new & old and old yet new! Well worth the trip & the 0415 start 😊

Very fine, hot day at #doctorwho #targetbookclub although I do feel like I have eaten an entire Spiel Snake 🙂

Thanks @gossjam.bsky.social

Here, have some more rubbish photos from the 2nd half of #doctorwho #targetbookclub

Here, have some rubbish photos from the first half of today's #targetbookclub

I’ve never really done Doctor Who conventions (3 or 4 in my life) but #TargetBookClub where the authors are the stars? Yes please and thank you very much!

Had a cracking first half of talks at #doctorwho #targetbookclub. Lovely way to spend a horribly wet Saturday. Cheers @gossjam.bsky.social

He’s just had his copy of his favourite story signed at #TargetBookClub and I’ve never seen him happier… 🥰

First RTD brings #doctorwho into a shared fictive universe with EastEnders by legitimising Dimensions in Time. Now @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social has done the with Crossroads through Shughie McPhee!

We live in dark times 🤯😱😵‍💫🙂

Contemplating the demographics as at this point I’m the only woman in the room 😂 #targetbookclub

Attendees will be delighted to learn the Abbey Centre is a mere 300 metre swim from the nearest bus stop. #TargetBookClub

On my way to #targetbookclub. I can’t remember when I was last out of the house this early on a Saturday 🧟‍♂️
